<div class="field field-name-field-blog-featured field-type-file field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Every week, The GLAAD Wrap brings you LGBT-related entertainment news highlights, fresh stuff to watch out for, and fun diversions to help you kick off the weekend.</p>
<p><strong>1)</strong> Fans of out Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar know to expect certain things with each new film he releases. Melodrama, great music, some violent touches, and taut scripting are present in most of the director’s previous films as well as <a href="http://www.sonyclassics.com/theskinilivein/" target="_blank"><em>The Skin I Live In</em></a>. It’s also one of the darkest and most intense he’s made in some time. Watch the trailer below.
</p><p><span class="file"><img class="file-icon" alt="" title="video/youtube" src="/modules/file/icons/video-x-generic.png" /> <a href="/" type="video/youtube; length=0">PavJUoZNT7g</a></span>
</p><p><strong>2)</strong> Next Wednesday marks the opening of <a href="http://www.paulgoodmanfilm.com/" target="_blank"><em>Paul Goodman Changed My Life</em></a>. Through archival footage and interviews, director Jonathan Lee paints a portrait of poet, sociologist, advocate and thinker Paul Goodman who had a strong impact on the gay liberation movement in the 70s. Watch a trailer below and head to the <a href="http://www.paulgoodmanfilm.com/screenings" target="_blank">website</a> to find a screening near you.
</p><p><span class="file"><img class="file-icon" alt="" title="video/youtube" src="/modules/file/icons/video-x-generic.png" /> <a href="/" type="video/youtube; length=0">prHtmk7yfuc</a></span>
</p><p><img class="media-image" height="158" id="2" style="float: right; width: 124px; height: 158px; border-width: 3px; border-style: solid;" width="124" src="http://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/85043.jpg?itok=JF0E6myj" alt="" /><strong>3)</strong> With the hotly anticipated biopic <em>J. Edgar</em> set to release this fall, actor <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/leodicaprio" target="_blank">Leonardo DiCaprio</a> is already looking for his next project, and a film about famous code-breaker and computer scientist Alan Turing may be it. Warner Brothers <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2011/10/warner-bros-buys-spec-script-about-math-genius-biopic-because-leonardo-di-caprio-chasing-lead-role/#more-181822">reportedly spent seven figures</a> on a script for <em>The Imitation Game</em>, which chronicles the life of the mathematical genius who was eventually criminally prosecuted for being gay and died by suicide. Deadline’s Nikki Finke says it’s because Dicaprio “has the inside track.”</p>
<p><img class="media-image" height="137" id="2" style="border-width: 3px; border-style: solid; float: right; width: 124px; height: 137px;" width="124" src="http://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/Michael-Douglas_14.jpg?itok=azZV5DCJ" alt="" /><strong>4)</strong> In other gay biopic news, Michael Douglas and Matt Damon have been cast in a <a href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/10/11/michael-douglas-to-play-liberace-in-hbo-movie-2/" target="_blank">film about famously flamboyant pianist Liberace and his lover Scott Thorson</a>. The project will start shooting in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Palm Springs next summer and will air on HBO.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="media-image" height="174" id="2" style="float: right; border-width: 3px; border-style: solid; width: 124px; height: 174px;" width="124" src="http://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/64740323.jpg?itok=0GuA8FHD" alt="" /><strong>5)</strong> Exciting LGBT television news was released this week, starting with the exciting announcement that Lee Daniels was developing a Showtime drama set in the world of New York Ball culture (hyperlink to glaad post.) Now comes word that <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2011/10/hbo-turning-the-kids-are-all-right-into-series-pilot/" target="_blank">Lisa Cholodenko will help HBO turn <em>The Kids Are All Right</em> into an hour-long series</a> continuing the story of the film’s main characters. Cholodenko will reportedly write the pilot script and serve as executive producer. </p>
<p><img class="media-image" height="178" id="2" style="border-width: 3px; border-style: solid; float: right; width: 124px; height: 178px;" width="124" src="http://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/index.jpg?itok=PQAUjMdR" alt="" /><strong>6)</strong> Meanwhile, it’s also been announced that Glee creator <a href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/10/13/ryan-murphy-nbc-comedy-pilot/" target="_blank">Ryan Murphy and Allison Adler have made “the biggest comedy sale of the season” for a pitch about gay couple and the woman who agrees to become their surrogate and start a blended family with them</a>. Following a bidding war with ABC and Fox, NBC emerged the victorious buyer who will produce the pilot which is apparently based on Murphy and Adler’s real life experiences. Should these projects make it to series, it will mean an unprecedented amount of representation for LGBT families on television when coupled with the hit show <em>Modern Family</em>.</p>
<p><img class="media-image" height="56" id="2" style="border-width: 3px; border-style: solid; float: right; width: 199px; height: 56px;" width="199" src="http://www.glaad.org/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/logo_0.png?itok=7NbESK5t" alt="" /><strong>7)</strong> Casting has begun on Remake America, a new show about people struggling with major life issues related to the problems our nation currently faces, from the producers behind <em>The Biggest Loser</em>. In addition to looking for people dealing with things like being “pregnant and uninsured” and “working two jobs,” the show is also hoping to cast LGBT couples looking to start a family while coping with the hurdles in front of them, as well as any compelling story based on major life-changing decisions. Anyone interested should visit their site at <a href="http://www.remakeamericacasting.com/">www.remakeamericacasting.com</a>, which also includes instructions for applying.</p>
<p><strong>8)</strong> Actor <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/charliedavid" target="_blank">Charlie David</a> (<em>Dante’s Cove</em>, <em>Mulligans</em>) is stepping into the director role for the documentary film, <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/SCARLETourpositiveyouth" target="_blank"><em>Scarlet: Our Positive Youth</em></a>, which will tell the story of four young people across the country affected by HIV/AIDS. Having raised the money for production, Charlie and longtime collaboration Rowan Nielsen are now raising the much needed completion funds to turn the one hour TV doc into a feature-length film which will play at film festivals and be made available as an educational DVD for libraries, schools, universities and HIV/AIDS resource and support centers worldwide. Twenty-five percent of funds raised for the feature film will be donated to YouthCo – a youth driven HIV/AIDS support organization. Check out the trailer below, and visit the project’s IndieGogo page <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/SCARLETourpositiveyouth" target="_blank">here</a>.

<!--more--><p>
Lisa Cholodenko's comedic-drama had been nominated for four Golden Globes, including separate Best Actress (in a comedy or musical) nominations for Annette Benning and Julianne Moore, the leading ladies portraying the lesbian couple at the film's center. As many critics had predicted, Annette Bening ended up winning the award for her powerful performance of a workaholic doctor struggling to handle an escalating family drama. <em>The Kids Are All Right</em> also won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical.</p>
<p><a href="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Chris.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-30640" title="Chris Colfer" src="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Chris-205x300.jpg" alt="" width="205" height="300" /></a>A number of LGBT inclusive television shows had <a href="http://glaadblog.org/2010/12/14/golden-globe-noms-show-love-for-kids-are-all-right-glee-and-modern-family/">received nominations</a>, but it was <em>Glee </em>that walked away the big winner of the night with three trophies, including Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical. Though it missed out on awards for its male and female leads, <em>Glee</em>'s two openly gay castmembers won Golden Globes for best supporting actress and actor in a television production. Jane Lynch (attending with her wife) won for her role as acerbic coach Sue Sylvester, while Chris Colfer's performance as out teenager Kurt was also recognized.</p>
<p>Colfer also delivered one of the night's most memorable acceptance speeches, dedicating the award "To all the amazing kids who watch our show, and the kids that our show celebrates who are constantly told 'no' by the people in their environments [and] by bullies at school that they can't be who they are or have what they want because of who they are. Well, screw that kids!" You can watch the heartfelt moment yourself <a href="http://tv.gawker.com/5735236/">here.<br /></a></p>
<p>Other inclusive <a href="http://www.goldenglobes.org/nominations/">shows and films that won Golden Globes</a> included <em>Boardwalk Empire</em>, <em>Burlesque</em>, and <em>Black Swan</em>.</p>

<!--more--><p> Airing in the beginning of the year, the Golden Globes have long been a precursor (and often predictor) to the Oscars, with the nominations announcement typically signifying that the film industry awards season is in full swing.</p>
<p><a href="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/the-kids-are-all-right1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-30078" title="The Kids are All Right" src="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/the-kids-are-all-right1-220x300.jpg" alt="" width="165" height="228" /></a>With four nominations, <em>The Kids Are All Right</em> will have one of the highest profiles at the awards show, which includes nominations for Best Motion Picture: Comedy or Musical and nominations for Best Performance by an Actress in the same genre for both Annette Bening and Julianne Moore. Writer/Director Lisa Cholodenko missed out on a directing nomination, but did pick up one for Best Screenplay.</p>
<p>While it's not quite what one might call an LGBT-themed film, much of the buzz around <em>Black Swan</em> has been about the sexual dynamic between its two female leads played by Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. Both actresses picked up nominations for their performances, as did director Darren Aronofsky and the film itself for Best Motion Picture: Drama.</p>
<p><a href="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/iam121.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-30079" title="I Am Love" src="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/iam121.jpg" alt="" width="165" height="186" /></a>Competing against <em>Kids</em> for Best Comedy or Musical is <em>Burlesque</em>, which also picked up two nominations for Best Original Song and features Stanley Tucci as an out club manager. Emma Stone garnered a nomination for her role in the teen (non)sex comedy <em>Easy A</em>, in which her plan to help a bullied gay classmate spirals out of control. And the Italian film <em>I Am Love </em>received a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, which stars Tilda Swinton as a mother inspired to reconsider her own life choices after discovering that her daughter is a lesbian.</p>
<p>Over in the television categories, Fox's <em>Glee</em> picked up a total of 5 nominations, including one for Best Comedy (or Musical) series and acting nominations for out actors Jane Lynch and Chris Colfer. ABC's <em>Modern Family</em> also received a Best Comedy nomination and a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Emmy-winner Eric Stonestreet for his portrayal of gay dad Cam on the show.</p>
<p><a href="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/mitch-and-cam.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-30080" title="Modern Family" src="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/mitch-and-cam.jpg" alt="" width="165" height="215" /></a>Though her show received a nomination for Best Drama, Emmy-winner Archie Panjabi was surprisingly shut out of the supporting actress category for her portrayal of bisexual investigator Kalinda Sharma on CBS' <em>The Good Wife</em>. Other inclusive shows that grabbed one or more nominations include <em>Nurse Jackie</em>, <em>United States of Tara</em>, <em>Boardwalk Empire</em>, and <em>The Office</em>.</p>
<p>Comedian Ricky Gervais will return as the ceremony's host, which will broadcast live on NBC on January 16.</p>

<p>“Hollywood, which once routinely depicted gay people as miserable, dysfunctional or tragic,” Puente writes, “now produces movies and TV shows — such as this summer's film The Kids Are All Right, ABC's Modern Family and Fox's Glee — in which gay relationships and gay families are portrayed as just like other families — normal, unremarkable, no big deal.”</p>
<p>USA Today is the most widely read newspaper in the country, so it is extremely encouraging to see an article which highlights the new standard in film and television programming – full LGBT inclusion.</p>
<p>The article has attracted some hateful comments by equality opponents on the newspaper’s website, however.</p>
<p>“Isn't it wonderful that GLAAD has convinced, cajoled, crammed and jammed homosexuality down our throats and into our living room and then said ‘People are now realizing homosexual behavior is normal and they are accepting it’,” writes one reader.</p>
<p>“The last thing we need is more attention put on the freak life-style,” writes another.</p>
<p>The majority of these comments have been left unchallenged by readers.</p>
<p><strong>Take Action!</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2010-08-24-gayshollywood23_CV_N.htm" target="_blank">GLAAD encourages you to read Maria Puente’s article, “Hollywood Now Opening Arms to Gay Characters, Families” </a>and then post a comment on the USA Today website. By voicing your support for LGBT people and their families, you will send a message that LGBT people deserve to be represented in television and on film.</p>

<div class="field field-name-field-blog-featured field-type-file field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><em><strong>The Kids Are All Right</strong></em> is the largest release ever for a mainstream film about lesbians and is on track to become one of the highest performing indie films of 2010. In three weekends of limited release, the film has grossed nearly $5 million and the audience will likely grow as the film expands this weekend. </p>
<!--more--><p>In the film, <strong>Annette Bening</strong> and <strong>Julianne Moore</strong> play a longtime couple that began a family through donor insemination, each mother bearing a child. As teenagers, the couple's children decide to track down their donor (<strong>Mark Ruffalo</strong>) without telling their mothers. The film deals with how the family copes once the donor enters their lives.</p>
<p>With so few lesbian representations, it is natural that many are invested in the film and monitoring it closely. While it frustrates some, others celebrate it. We think it's important to acknowledge the feedback from the various voices within our community.</p>
<div style="width: 310px;float:left;"><a href="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/kids-are-all-right-bening-moore1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-23797" title="kids-are-all-right-bening-moore" src="http://glaadblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/kids-are-all-right-bening-moore1-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>
<p>Lesbian filmmaker Lisa Cholodenko's The Kids Are All Right offers much needed visibility to lesbian families.</p>
</div>
<p>At the film's release, GLAAD released a <a href="http://www.glaad.org/kidsareallright"><strong>Resource Guide</strong></a> for media and anyone interested in understanding the issues inherent in the film – lesbian parenting, donor insemination and representations of LGBT families in media. Our purpose was to educate the mainstream about how to talk about those issues.</p>
<p>Around the country, people are discussing whether this film is about love and stability and forgiveness or whether they can forgive director <strong>Lisa Cholodenko</strong> for the brief portrayal of lesbian sexuality in favor of racier scenes between Moore and Ruffalo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.afterellen.com/movies/2010/7/the-kids-are-all-right-review"> </a><strong><a href="http://www.afterellen.com/movies/2010/7/the-kids-are-all-right-review">AfterEllen</a>'</strong>s glowing review compares the film to <em>Brokeback Mountain</em> in its ability to leave audiences with a message of understanding and suggests the film's themes about the fragility of marriage and why people cheat make the characters relatable. <a href="http://www.mombian.com/2010/07/08/the-kids-are-all-right-the-perfect-lesbian-mom-date-movie/"><strong>Mombian</strong></a>, a site dedicated to lesbian moms, focuses on the refreshing portrayal of middle aged moms with teenage kids who "have already 'turned out'—and they are indeed all right." At<a href="http://www.shewired.com/Article.cfm?ID=25332"> </a><strong><a href="http://www.shewired.com/Article.cfm?ID=25332">SheWired.com</a>,</strong> <strong>Kathy Wolfe</strong> of Wolfe Media, a company that has distributed lesbian films for over 25 years, applauds the film for its "entertaining yet ultimately politically powerful message of putting a lesbian family front and center."</p>
<p>Yet, counter perspectives range from disappointment to anger. Also on <a href="http://www.shewired.com/Article.cfm?ID=25336"><strong>SheWired.com</strong></a>, writer Jill Bennett is fed up with Hollywood films about lesbians who, for whatever dramatic reason, always sleep with a man, a pattern not repeated in films about gay men. The thoughtful analysis of longtime activist and former GLAAD Executive Director Joan Garry's <strong><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joan-garry-/the-kids-are-all-right-no_b_659444.html">Huffington Post</a> </strong>piece brings forward the boundary issues involved in sleeping with your children's sperm donor and the high probability for collateral emotional damage to the children. The post has generated numerous comments, many of them also mixed in response.</p>
<p>The most vociferous reaction comes from the site, <a href="http://www.thelesbianmafia.com/home/the-kids-are-all-right-our-review/"><strong>Lesbian Mafia</strong></a>. On the site's podcast, in their online review and on their Twitter page, Lesbian Mafia editors and Twitter followers express anger over the film's representation of female sexuality as dull and uninteresting. They find it offensive that Moore's character is labeled a lesbian as sleeping with a man disqualifies her from the lesbian label. Several who object to the film also feel betrayed by what they see is the overall messaging that lesbians somehow need men.</p>
<p>Cholodenko speaks honestly about her motivations for the film. In an early article about the film, she told <a href="http://www.salon.com/entertainment/movies/film_salon/2010/01/29/cholodenko"><strong>Salon.com</strong></a>, "I think sexuality at times can be separate from [sexual orientation], and you can have sexual response to opposite genders or same genders. I just don't see them as inextricably linked. For me personally -- there are people who see sexual identity as bound forever, and that there's no continuum at all. I find that thinking, and the critique that comes from that, really dated. So that bothers me. I feel like the lack of open-mindedness to that idea is really square and dated. So that's where I'm coming from."</p>
<p>Within our community, opinions on media representations will not always be congruous, nor should they, but this film and films like it spark important dialogue in our community – and in America in general. GLAAD is bringing attention to these divergent opinions to foster dialogue.</p>
<p><em>The Kids Are All Right </em>is a fictional representation of one family and there are thousands of other stories to tell. We'd like to hear the stories of your families so we can continue to do the work we do every day, asking media to represent the full spectrum of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender experience and not rely on any one story to define our community.</p>
<p>We'd also like to hear your opinions on the film. <a href="http://twtpoll.com/o4j20s">Take our poll</a>, and join the discussion in the comments.</p>

<p><a href="http://glaadblog.org/2010/07/12/glaad-releases-the-kids-are-all-right-resource-guide/" target="_blank">As we told you in a previous blog</a>, in the film, by out filmmaker Lisa Cholodenko, Bening and Moore play a longtime couple who began a family through donor insemination, with each mother bearing a child. As teenagers, the couple’s children decide to track down their donor (Ruffalo) without telling their mothers. The film deals with how the family copes once the donor enters their lives.</p>
<p><em>The Kids Are All Right </em>has received rave reviews from well-established newspapers like the <a href="http://movies.nytimes.com/2010/07/09/movies/09kids.html" target="_blank"> <em>New York Times</em> </a>and the <em><a href=" http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jul/08/entertainment/la-et-kids-all-right-20100708" target="_blank">Los Angeles Times</a>. </em>While it is nearly impossible to create a film that pleases every critic, <em>NY Pos</em><em>t</em> writer Andrea Peyser expressed her dislike for the film while simultaneously disparaging gay and lesbian families. It's clear that Peyser's objection to the film goes far beyond fair criticism and reflects her own personal anti-gay bias<em>.</em></p>
<p>Peyser is certainly entitled to her opinion but her cheap shots at gay families were over the top and unacceptable. Here's an extended excerpt from the column, illustrating the offensive tone. Peyser describes "The Kids Are All Right as:</p>
<p><strong><em>sort of a cross between "Leave it to Beaver" and "Kittens With Whips." Choose your lifestyle wisely, moviegoers. For this film is set to go down in history as the first major motion picture to make a family led by gay women -- A-lister Annette Bening, as the control-freak doctor Nic, "wed" to A-lister Julianne Moore, as the weepy, infantilized Jules -- seem not just normal, but close to godly.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>It reaches further than the gay-cowboy romp "Brokeback Mountain," whose characters maintained a sense of otherness while shielding the kids from their shenanigans. In this movie, exposing kids is the entire point.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>And this is how Hollywood does an end run around morality.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>"Hollywood has set the stage for the gay agenda, nothing new," said Laura Bailey, Brooklyn mom of two boys. "Why do you think they did propaganda films in the 1940s? They're setting the new norm."</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>"The movie industry is doing its best to undermine the American family," said Patricia Whitehead, Connecticut mom of two girls. "Hollywood -- we don't care about the sick lives you lead behind closed doors. Just don't bring children into it."</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>This brazen attempt at trend-setting comes as national polls show Americans oppose gay marriage, half of us strongly. Support for it was at 47 percent in this year's Washington Post/ABC News poll -- but fully two-thirds favored civil unions, in which gay couples enjoy most rights of marrieds without having to stand under the </em></strong><strong><em>chuppah</em></strong><strong><em>.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>It doesn't take a genius to glean the truth: Folks are happy with gays living together. But bringing children into the equation is a deal-breaker.</em></strong></p>
<p>The column fails to include any gay parents, any adults who were raised by gay parents or anyone supportive of LGBT people. It also leaves out a very important fact: Nearly every credible authority on child health and social services (including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Child Welfare League of America) has determined that a parent’s sexual orientation has nothing to do with the ability to be a good parent.</p>
<p>Peyser also uses the offensive term "lifestyle" to describe gay and lesbian lives, and concludes her piece with yet another viewpoint against gay parents:</p>
<p><em><strong>I went to see it in Chelsea, where the crowd was generally smitten. But therapist Karen Kopitz saw through the gay proselytizing.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>"I'm not anti-gay," she said. "But I don't think you can compensate for the male-female role model."</strong></em></p>
<p>Please write to Andrea Peyser and the <em>New York Post</em> and voice your concerns about this offensive column. Tell them to stop using this media platform to denigrate loving gay families.</p>
<p>Contact: <a href="mailto:letters@nypost.com">letters@nypost.com</a></p>
<p>We also urge journalists covering this film to consult GLAAD's resource guide on <em>The Kids Are All Right</em>.

As teenagers, the couple's children decide to track down their donor (Ruffalo) without telling their mothers. The film deals with how the family copes once the donor enters their lives.</p>
<p>"What’s so interesting about this movie is that it really highlights how important a family is. What a long-term relationship is," said Moore in an <a href="http://www.afterellen.com/people/2010/6/julianne-moore?page=0,1">interview with AfterEllen.com</a>. "What it means to stick it out with somebody; to forgive people’s mistakes; to punish people within your family; to guide them toward growing up and leaving after you’ve been so attached — all of these things. The film is a really interesting exploration of that.”</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2010/07/box-office-report-on-limited-releases/">Deadline.com</a>, The Kids Are All Right opened on seven screens this past Friday and scored the highest per screen gross this year so far with $72,127 per screen. If its box office performance is any indication, The Kids Are All Right underscores the desire among American audiences to see lesbian stories reflected on screen.
